Whoa. Can someone please tell 2012 to stop moving like a freight train? I’m not really sure how it is July already, but it really is. I keep telling myself to start those side projects and long-term business projects that have been adding up—especially on rainy days. But wait, there was .31 inches of rain here in Madison the month of June. Seriously. Still, I think it’s important to do those things that make us happy and/or things that make our lives easier. And I was reminded of that this past weekend seeing the unbridled joy on my son’s face riding the roller coaster at a kiddie park. Do you have something that makes you happy that you don’t do enough of? I think mine is golf, at least the part when I’m not slamming my clubs into the grass because I dribbled my drive ten feet in front of me. But there are many other things and projects to find time for. I always vow to make time and I’m doing that again now as July has begun. Do you also find yourself vowing to make time for things? You also should make time to listen to music…and here are some suggestions to help you do just that…..
